"5 STAR LANDSCAPING/HARDSCAPING COMPANY!!! LOOK NO FURTHER!! From Zack (the company owner), to Laura (head of office operations), to James (the on-site manager) to the entire crew at the job site----the whole team at ZR Landscaping & Grading is AMAZING to work with!! I found ZR on the Angi site. I called the office and Laura set up a meeting in a timely manner with Zack to visit our home to go over our landscaping/hardscaping needs. Within 15 minutes of touring the property with Zack, my husband and I knew we wanted him to do the work for us----he understood our vision and had terrific ideas about the possibilities for our yard. When we found out that the company had done work for the Biltmore Estate, we were sold! ZR first installed a flagstone patio in the back yard, then a wall and cement pad as an extension off our driveway. They did such an excellent job that we knew we had to engage the team for the â really bigâ job of revamping our front yard. Our front yard is a slope which consisted of a couple of trees, some ill-placed bushes and loads of mulch---basically a hill of mulch. Not pleasing to the eye at all. Plus we had drainage issues. Zack met with us to review the job. I had been doing some research and had come up with a plan----it consisted of a combination of hardscaping and landscaping---and I provided photos of examples I had found online. I wanted terracing, steps, walls, flagstone, and LOADS of varying plants---my dream landscape! Zack understood exactly what we wanted. Our job was scheduled and in the weeks before the start date, I put together my plant â wish listâ . There were over 50 types of plants/shrubs/trees on that list! Laura worked really hard to make the wish list a reality for me. She spent so much time contacting different suppliers to find as many of the plants as possible. It being later in the growing season, this was no easy feat. She researched plant types and varieties and passed along her knowledge to me as well as advice from suppliers. Once all the plants had been purchased, she made sure that the team on-site had a list of what plants were to go in shade versus sun to help organize the placement. Laura went above and beyond as she knew that the plants were the most important part of the whole project for me and I am so indebted to her. The job started on a Monday and the team completed the job in exactly 1 week, even with rain delays and lots of mud---incredible! We now have a grand stone staircase, an upper and a lower natural stone retaining wall, 2 smaller natural stone retaining walls in the middle of the hill which all give the terracing effect we were looking for. The concrete sidewalk that leads to the front porch was transformed into a flagstone walkway and it ties into the stone used for the walls. All of the drainage issues were resolved by the installation of river rock gullies and revamping the old drain system. And did I mention the plants?! ð Loads of wonderful beauties planted. The hill of mulch is no more---it has been replaced by a gorgeous, artistic landscape. If you are looking for a company to go above and beyond, to give you a truly top notch experience, call ZR. You will know it is done right, with integrity and honesty. Thanks for reading!"

"Ryan removed some tress from my yard. He was prompt and professional and very reasonably priced. He took extra care to not disturb the existing lawn with the equipment. Went above and beyond to clear the area of all debris. Would highly recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
